Ot-stolen cc info

My husband and I took a trip to Houston this past weekend. His company gives him two debit cards. One for his per diem check and one for his hours. Well, we used only one card the whole time we were there and this morning he went back to work. Now, he is trying to pay for his hotel for the week and it is being declined. It's the same card we used for our trip and it's saying that we spent about $800 today. Aside from canceling the card, is there anything else to do about this? Or are we just SOL? Ugh, I can't believe this happened. We have a savings account that we put money into every week, so this isn't really hurting us, but damn.

Now unto Him, who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we ask or think

What PP said contact them and dispute the charges and they will open an investigation. Hopefully it will be quick to disprove it wasn't you and they will reissue your money. If you want to press charges when you figure it out you have to file a police report. This happened to us a few years ago with our Bank of America debit card. I used it at our local pizza place and the hostess wrote down my card number and in once swoop took almost $3,000. Thank godness we are vigilant with our checking account and I caught it right away and reported it before more could be stolen. I was freaking out because it was our main account, my husband was returning from Afghanistan the same week and it was the only one money husband had access to. The bank was great and made sure he still had access to the account with his card and our money was replaced very quickly, I believe less than two weeks. GL!

Happens to DH on about an annual basis. He uses a card for his online business purchases (used engine parts so a lot of transactions with peopke on eBay and craigslist). Everytime he has to call and report it to his cc company, sign an affidavit and get it notarized, and they take the charges off and a new card with a new number on it. It's a pain in the @ss, but it is part of how he has to do business.
